The richest man

Chapter 177 Invited to the Mainland!

After comprehensive consideration, even if a Disneyland is built in Hong Kong, its scale will not be too large.

Zhang Jun contacted the Chinese Land Company through the ocean phone, chatted with Ma Shimin for a long time, and decided to arrange Hong Kong Disneyland in the base of Phoenix Studios to drive the commercial value of this area.

Even if Hong Kong Disneyland does not make money, it can recover the loss through the appreciation of the surrounding land.

Furthermore, the establishment of Disneyland is actually a kind of publicity for the brand, even if it is a loss, it must be maintained.

a few days later.

Zhang Jun and his party returned to Japan again, planning to initiate an acquisition of Dongbao Co., Ltd.

Toho Co., Ltd. is one of the largest film companies in Japan. It has a relatively strong lineup of editors, directors, and actors, and has its own movie theaters in many prime locations in many cities in Japan.

Toho Co., Ltd., as one of the few film companies in Japan, is not so easy to acquire.

Zhang Jun is ready for a protracted war.

……

It's still the same stylish tavern.

Zhang Jun looked at Watanabe Nomura and asked, "What is the attitude of Dongbao's management in the face of Disney's acquisition?"

Before coming to Japan, Zhang Jun had asked Watanabe to contact Toho's management in advance, and wanted to ask for their consent.

Watanabe Nomura thought for a while and replied: "The management of Dongbao is not very willing to accept the company's acquisition, but it can accept the investment from Disney. The new Disney group is strong and has many comic IPs under its name. Dongbao His forte is also making animated films. Toho is well aware of the influence of Legendary Comics in Japan, and hopes to adapt these comics. At the same time, Toho also wants to enter Hollywood. It would be best if he could use the platform of Disney! Therefore, in the face of Disney's acquisition, Dongbao Co., Ltd. is quite entangled..."

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help but nodded. He could also understand the attitude of the top management of Dongbao Co., Ltd. On the one hand, he wanted to use Disney to grow and grow, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to lose control of the company.

"Then what do you think, can Disney acquire Dongbao in the end?" Zhang Jun asked after hesitation.

Nomura Watanabe smiled bitterly: "I can't say for sure, but Mr. Zhang, you have strong financial resources, so the probability of Disney acquiring Dongbao must be higher. But it is best to reach a friendly acquisition agreement with Dongbao's management... "

The so-called friendly acquisition refers to the acquisition of a listed company in which the acquirer first obtains the consent of the management of the target company before issuing an acquisition offer, and the management cooperates and actively cooperates with the acquirer to persuade the company's shareholders to sell shares to the acquirer.

In this way, the acquisition can be relatively smooth.

Zhang Jun nodded with a smile and said, "Hehe, it's natural. I'm very optimistic about Dongbao's management!"

The next night, Zhang Jun met with the management of Dongbao Co., Ltd., and the two sides talked for a long time. Zhang Jun promised a lot of benefits, including the launch of the equity incentive plan, and the other party expressed his willingness to facilitate the acquisition plan.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun was very satisfied.

Then on the third day, Disney officially issued a takeover offer to Dongbao Co., Ltd.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the Japanese media and entertainment circles.

Toho Co., Ltd. is a Japanese film giant, and many Japanese do not want to be acquired.

However, this acquisition went very smoothly.

After several rounds of discussions, Disney spent 3 million US dollars to acquire a 51% stake in Toho Co., Ltd.!
It's not that Zhang Jun doesn't want to acquire Dongbao Co., Ltd. wholly-owned, but the difficulty of wholly-owned acquisition is relatively high. Dongbao's shareholders all want to take advantage of the Disney ship to make a fortune.

Zhang Jun thought about it, and he didn't plan to eat alone, because eating alone would make people jealous.Based on the idea of ​​a win-win situation, Zhang Jun agreed to their conditions, but the control of Dongbao Co., Ltd. must be in his own hands.

December 1977, 3.

On behalf of Disney, Zhang Jun formally signed an agreement with Dongbao Co., Ltd.

Both parties were happy.

Looking at the agreement, Zhang Jun was still quite excited.

After winning Toho Co., Ltd., it not only owns an excellent Japanese film production company, but also a large theater chain with more than 300 luxury movie theaters.

At this moment, Zhang Jun suddenly thought, Dongbao Co., Ltd. is a serious film production company, should he invest in an unscrupulous film production company?You know, Japan's custom industry is very developed, and the adult movie market is huge... Japan's first adult movie was born in 1981, and it is said that it made a lot of money! ! !
Zhang Jun thought about it, but decided to give up.

Compared with making money and your own image, your image is more important...

……

After completing the acquisition of Dongbao Co., Ltd., Zhang Jun began to reorganize it and established three companies, Dongbao Film, Dongbao Entertainment Office, and Dongbao Cinema.

Dongbao Film: mainly responsible for the production of films.

Dongbao Arts Agency: a brokerage company, responsible for signing artists.

Zhang Jun gave Dongbao a large number of IP adaptation tasks, such as "Detective Conan", "Slam Dunk", "One Piece", "Pokemon Part [-]", etc...

And plans to start the "Godzilla" movie in 1980.

Zhang Jun originally wanted to stay in Japan for a while, but at this time, Hong Kong called and Hu Yingxiang invited him to visit the mainland.

Hu Yingxiang is a rich man in Hong Kong, his net worth is even more than that of Li Jiacheng at this time, and he is known as the first of the "Five Tigers of Chinese Assets Real Estate".According to reliable data, in 1973, Hu Yingxiang's annual assets were 20 times that of Li Ka-shing.

However, unlike Li Jiacheng, Hu Yingxiang does not like to engage in real estate business in the mainland and make money like crazy, but chooses to invest in the infrastructure industry.These businesses require large investment, long payback, and low income, which is a typical bad business.It's not that Hu Yingxiang doesn't understand that real estate is more profitable, but the infrastructure industry is more helpful to the country's economic development.

Zhang Jun respected Hu Yingxiang's character. This time Hu Yingxiang invited him to go to the mainland for inspection, and Zhang Jun agreed without thinking.

So, after dealing with Dongbao's matter, he flew back to Hong Kong immediately.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Zhang Jun immediately contacted Hu Yingxiang to discuss when to go to the mainland for inspection and what precautions should be taken.

Inside the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Hu Yingxiang and a small group of Hong Kong businessmen gathered together, and Zhang Jun glanced at them. There were about a dozen of them, and he also found that Li Jiacheng was also here.

Hu Yingxiang looked at everyone, and said: "At the invitation of Xinhua News Agency, we will go to the mainland for a 27-day field trip! Xinhua News Agency originally invited more Hong Kong businessmen, but most of them are on the sidelines." manner."

"The mainland has actually invited us Hong Kong businessmen to invest in the mainland many times. I think we can go and have a look now. As far as I know, the current situation in the mainland has undergone major changes..."

Hearing this, Zhang Jun is very aware of the changes that have taken place in the Mainland at this time.It is now 1977, and the situation in the mainland has changed drastically. Next year, reform and opening up will be announced.Going to the inner capital here is safe enough to be guaranteed.

In Zhang Jun's memory, this year, that is, 1977, there was indeed a small team of Hong Kong rich people who went to the mainland for investigation.

"Mr. Hu, when are we going to the mainland?" Zhang Jun asked.

"The Xinhua News Agency can look at our decision at any time." Hu Yingxiang replied.

"Since this is the case, the sooner the better, I think we will start on May 5st, and leave a month for everyone to arrange some things." Zhang Jun said.

Seeing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well, I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"Seconded!"

"..."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Hu Yingxiang said: "Okay, then we will set off on May 5st, and I will contact Xinhua News Agency later to make all preparations in advance."

"Ah."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then the waiter began to serve the food.

People chat and eat.

Zhang Jun is the youngest among them, but he is the one with the strongest financial resources.

This trip to the mainland, he should be the most valued by the leaders of the mainland, and he may even be received by the top leaders.

"Zhang Sheng, do you plan to invest in this visit to the Mainland?" Hu Yingxiang asked.

Zhang Jun smiled and nodded: "I will definitely invest! But it depends on which industries the mainland is willing to open to us..."

After a pause, he said, "Many of my employees are from the mainland. I should be familiar with the mainland. At this time, the mainland is very poor, and transportation, energy, communication, etc. are very backward. If the mainland economy wants to grow rapidly, it must vigorously Construction of the infrastructure industry. If possible, I am willing to give priority to investing heavily in the construction of the three major businesses of transportation, energy and communications!"

Zhang Junru said that Hu Yingxiang couldn't help admiring him when he heard it.

However, he didn't know that because Zhang Jun had too much money, in addition to investing in mainland real estate, he could also invest in transportation, energy and communications, gaining huge influence.

Furthermore, transportation, energy and communications are not unprofitable, but they are not as profitable as real estate.

Investing in these infrastructure industries can establish a good relationship with the mainland government, and it is easier than other real estate companies to acquire land.For example, if Zhang Jun and Li Jiacheng have their eyes on the same piece of land, who should the local government give it to?You don't want the highway anymore?You don't want the power station anymore?

At the dinner table, a group of people listened to Zhang Jun's narration, and some of them could not help shaking their heads secretly. Although they admired Zhang Jun's patriotism, they did not agree with this investment method.

Zhang Jun drank his red wine and smiled lightly. At the beginning of the reform and opening up in the Mainland, the concept of the Mainlanders had not changed, and he did not dare to go to the Mainland to hoard land. It would be very unlucky if he was targeted.

First build a good relationship with the mainland government, leave a good impression, and hoard land in the future, is that still a problem?

The Huo family won [-] mu of land in Nansha, can ordinary real estate businessmen do it?

Zhang Jun thinks it is impossible.

Moreover, he also valued the development potential of Nansha, and the [-] mu of land was priceless! ! !
